Kensington Tours has established a dedicated sales presence in Canada for the first time in several years.
Aerin Chauncey has been named as the company’s Canadian director, while Crystal Almeida has been brought on board as Canadian account executive.
The appointments come as Kensington’s Outside Sales organization expands to nearly three dozen people. The company said the increased investment in travel advisor partnerships represents growing demand across its business, adding that the broader team supports host agencies, consortia partners and independent advisors across North America.
“Our advisor partners are at the center of everything we do,” said Marc Moore, Kensington’s vice-president of agent sales.
“The addition of dedicated leadership in Canada reflects both the importance of this market and our long-term commitment to supporting Canadian advisors in a more meaningful and consistent way,” he said.
“Having a local presence allows us to be more responsive, more collaborative and more aligned with the needs of our partners.”
Kensington recently introduced several new itineraries across some of its most popular destinations, including Spain, Portugal, France, and Switzerland, expanding its portfolio of highly personalized, private guided journeys across Europe.
“These new itineraries reflect what travelers are increasingly seeking: deeper cultural connection, exclusive access, and the ability to experience Europe in a highly personalized way,” said Kensington president, Helen Giontsis.
“Each journey is designed to reflect the individual traveler, brought to life through the expertise of our Destination Experts and the level of customization that defines the Kensington brand.”
Earlier this year, the company also introduced Kensington Ultralux, a new travel division devoted to ultra-luxary, private, land travel.
